Mountain bikers are set to descend on Bollington.

The Bolly Skyline Mountain Bike Enduro takes place this weekend.

Now in its third year, it is a competition for pros and amateurs alike, all with the aim of celebrating sport and community.

Co-organiser Maria Bryceland said: "We can't wait for this year's event!

"We feel so proud of the support from the community and the fact we can bring everyone together to celebrate the love of where we live and one of our favourite pastimes together.

"This year we have super exciting riding stages, music, entertainment and activities and hope to welcome families, riders, racers and visitors alike to beautiful Bollington and the surrounding areas."
